So, What is Animalcore?
Animalcore is the wild and wonderful design trend bringing the animal kingdom indoors.
Think:
-
Leopard print
-
Jungle creatures
-
Bold colour
-
Quirky character-filled decor
It's a maximalist dream — playful, expressive, and unapologetically fun. And it’s exactly the kind of vibe we love at Yililo.
Why Animalcore is Totally Our Thing
At Yililo, we believe your home should reflect your personality. We’re all about colour, fun, and making everyday items feel a bit more magical. In Redfin’s article, we shared:
“From tortoiseshell chopping boards and leopard print coasters to quirky art of a cat in an astronaut suit, it’s all about adding a playful, personality-packed twist to everyday items.”
That’s what animalcore is all about — expressing your wild side without doing a full home makeover.
